The fifth expansion in the Pokémon Sun and Moon series of the popular
Trading Card Game released last week, and I decided to see what I could
pull from opening a bunch of booster packs. Thankfully, unlike previous expansion Shining Legends,
you can pick up booster packs without having to
buy bundles.

Pokémon Sun and Moon – Ultra Prism features over 150 new cards,
making it a substantial addition to the catalog. I was sent a stack of booster
packs, as well as both decks (Imperial Command
and Mach Strike). I’ve highlighted the best cards pulled from these
packs below. Ultra Prism features Pokémon ranging from Gen 1 to the
recent Gen 7, but
the definite focus is on the fourth generation of monsters. In fact,
the number of Gen 4 cards pulled from the booster packs was
substantially more than all of the other generations combined. However, with Gen 4 featuring many new evolutions of Pokémon from previous generations, creatures from the first three generations have a definite presence throughout the packs. Also, the expansion is still part of the Sun and Moon series after all, so Gen 7 monsters also pop up in most packs.
